"New" platform of the Democratic Socialists of America (proles should return brewing)

For those who erroneously wander into the belief that lame language like "democratic socialist" and "social democrat" signifies enfeebled versions of the original, revolutionary Marxist spirit... Take heart in the recent platform commitments of the DSA. A fascist capitalist society of the West may discourage newer collectivist organizations since the 1980s from adopting "communist" directly into their names, but it can't take that classic social-utopian mission out of its members.

The DSA continues to recognize (as the Red Army Faction did back in the 1970s), that police are a brutal agency of oppression against the people, taking even its apostle Mamdani to task for duplicity in this area:
  • NYC-DSA chides Mamdani for increasing NYPD headcount (excerpt): The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America made its strongest criticism of Mayor Zohran Mamdani to date on Friday, when it signed on to a statement criticizing the mayor’s plan to increase the New York City Police Department’s headcount. [...] Recently, many in DSA have argued that support for the NYPD is fundamentally incompatible with socialist politics. Earlier this month, DSA’s National Political Committee approved a revised national platform for the organization, which includes an explicit call to (eventually) abolish the police: “Demilitarize police departments, disempower police unions, and redirect police and prison funding to public services as steps towards abolishing the carceral forces of the capitalist state.”
In the spoiler below is what the Twin Cities chapter recently espoused with regard to its locality. This is merely the outline. Read the details beneath each in the article should the promises cynically resonate with the unreliable assurances of the usual, slow-moving cowardice of progressives in the Democrat Party (i.e., be enlightened otherwise).
The Socialist Agenda: What the Twin Cities DSA Demands for the State’s Future

(1) We will commit to decolonizing “Minnesota” after centuries of genocide. Territory held by settlers will be returned to First Nations.

(2) We will build an economy that serves the needs of the many by taxing the rich and putting workers in control of our livelihoods.

(3) We will build a democratic society and political system that guarantees the freedom and liberty of all peoples in Minnesota.

(4) We will halt the fascist and imperial war machine at home and abroad.

(5) We will provide safe and dignified housing for all.

(6) We will transition away from fossil fuels toward a green and sustainable future with clean air to breathe and clean water to drink for all.

(7) We will build a system of public safety that serves the needs of our communities and truly keeps us safe.
And as can be expected, the capitalism-groveling media tries to sprinkle some water onto the fire and fury of the revived, anti-fascist revolution...
  • The Democratic Socialists of America are leaving it all on the field in NYC (excerpt): For the DSA, any momentum stands to be blunted, however, by a torrent of old social media posts from Avila Chevalier. In her since-deleted missives, she denigrated Democratic politicians, the police, Israel and private property. The posts have surfaced since Mamdani and the DSA got behind her. Espaillat and super PACs that support him have seized on her social media history, airing ads that characterize her past online screeds as evidence she’s too extreme.
Finally... but also a horror of horrors to have to resort to a publication of the MONSTERS, because MSM seems to shy away from particulars (barring the Minneapolis Times above), here is a summary of general DSM rectifications slash objectives. Beware of any subtle biases and flagrant distortions that the MONSTER fascists may have planted...
  • The Democratic Socialists of America just adopted a radical new platform
    https://www.city-journal.org/article/dem...serve-more

    EXCERPT: DSA leadership added four amendments: one on “real democracy”—calling for the replacement of “the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress”—another on police and prison abolition, a provision explicitly naming Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state, and a ranked-choice voting section. [...] Milner, who supported the carceral abolition amendment, acknowledged that this position was far removed from the current practices of DSA candidates and elected officials, but maintained the demand was still important for defining the organization’s political direction. [...] Sidney Carlson White, a member of the Marxist Unity Group, argued that the amendment’s drafters had given elected officials room to work toward its stated goals, including demilitarization, weakening police unions, and redirecting police and prison funding toward public services.
